100th Day of School
Last week, my kids celebrated their 100th day of school. Even though they usually love dressing up, my daughter (in kindergarten) and son (in second grade) refused to dress up as 100-year-olds or to even wear a shirt with 100 pasted things on it so… I made some printable photo props because kids love making silly faces for the camera as well as anything on a stick.
This file is best printed out onto cardstock, cut, then taped to a wooden dowel, skewer, or chopstick. We used a mix of large craft sticks and chopsticks. Your child can enjoy posing with their gray hair, glasses, hearing aids, and dentures.
Also included is a speech bubble and two arrows pictured above.
As this year has been especially challenging for my kids with their cross country move, zoom/google meet school, and recent start and stop of in-person school twice already due to COVID outbreaks, and twice more due to snow days, I thought reaching the 100th day of school this year definitely deserved some celebrating.
I made a simple coloring sheet to observe the day as well as a banner for the kids to color and hang. They are free to download below.
The coloring sheet can also serve as a great photo prop to help document what your child looks like on their 100th day of preschool, kindergarten, 1st grade, etc. The banner is best printed out onto cardstock, given to your child to color and decorate then hole punched on top, and hung with ribbon, yarn, or twine. You can encourage your kids to paste 100 pom poms or other small, light objects, stick on 100 stickers, or draw 100 tally marks to extend this activity and make their banner even more memorable.
We baked these cupcakes and the kids made cupcake toppers writing as many ways to make 100 as they could think of. My youngest (15 months) just scribbled, my preschooler (3) traced and tried to write 100, my kindergartener traced, colored, and skip counted by 10 to 100, and my second grader really took on the challenge…. writing 40+60, 90+10, 300-200, 4X25, 2X50, etc. He even drew a 100 box. I took what my kids created and made a free cupcake topper printable below.
